What is the maximum board width this jig will handle at one time?

I'm thinking about 6" wide then move it down and do another 6" , it take a minute to move it down the board for the next pass

5 inches is the max width but you can move a wider board after cutting the first set of dovetails and index to one of those already cut. Then you can cut five more inches of dovetails. I haven't tried it yet!

As long as you have the right set up to properly clamp the jig and board down to your workbench, you could probably go as long as you'd like. It's open ended, so there's no restriction there, but you have to have a rather elaborate clamping system to do really long pieces. If you use a router table, it makes everything easier on you and you only have to use a spacer that is proper thickness to keep your board level. If all you use is the jig and basic clamps, I'd say 24" tops for ease of use.

I have another jig - much more complex than this, but it limits me on the width of the peace I can work with. I purchased and use this jig when I need to go past that limit. It comes with a peg that enables me to slide the piece and precisely match the remaining width. I have worked on pieces that were two and three feet wide, and the results were pretty good. Of course, you need to be careful. The width you can do at one time is about 6". I hope this helps.

Pretty much any width - it has a spacer key that will line up the tails. Go to youtube and watch a demonstration - always helps. This dovetailer works really well, BTW - very happy with it.

I believe it was 6" however, the instructions show you how to cut dovetails on much larger boards. There really is no set length. I've done it and it was rather easy

I have 65 mm wheels and there is about 18mm clearance from the top of wheel to the board in a max turn . I think the 80 mm wheels will work . The trucks you use may change the amount of clearance

The jig is said to open to 2 & 3/8s inches, but mine fully opened is 2 & 5/16 inches, I would say 2 & 1/4 would be max workable thickness.The jig is very stable even fully opened. This is a very sturdy made jig. The clamp is 7/8 deep and about 1/8 from bushing to top of clamp.You can clamp onto a piece of stock as thin as 3/8 by 1/4 deep. Hope this helps.

This is a quality machine that I use for woodworking. I have drilled a variety of holes with brad-point, Forstner, and twist bits with success. I have not measured the runout since all of my results have so far been satisfactory. The smallest diameter bit I use is a 1/16" twist bit which is held securely.

Yes ! The Kreg deck jig can be used with 2X (1 1/2") decking. You must use the longer "2x kreg deck screws". They are 2 5/8 inches long. They can be harder to find at retailers. But you can get them from amazon.com and the Kreg websites (kregtool.com & factoryauthorizedoutlet.com)

I have no idea, but I wouldn't recommend one as the tool is becomes wobbly when extended beyond 2/3 of it's maximum

1/4" shank with a bearing on it to run against the jig. It can be changed to other 1/4" bits jig works well

The maximum thickness of material that this jig can handle is 2-3/8 wide. I'm not sure I understand the 2nd part of the question of placing blocks under the clamp. If the concern is potentially drilling too far into your work piece, that should not be a problem. Based on the height of the clamps drill guide, I actually had to reduce how deep I normally place the bit in my drill to ensure a deep enough hold to accommodate the dowel.

As many as you want. When you realign the guide to drill the next set of holes, the positioning is perfect because you peg into the last hole drilled. I own one. If you have a very large scale project and need alot of speed, it may be to your benefit to own a larger jig. Every jig comes with a connector kit to hook to another and this can go as big as you can actually handle/control/manage the jig.

You should be able to use one 1/8" blade and one 3/16" blade. That takes you to 7/32" (or 14/64"... 1/64" shy of desired dado.) With the shims you should be able to dial it in to that. I own this set, but haven't tried it for that width. Quarter inch plywood, I'm guessing?

There is no max length on thickness. The jig uses an alignment pin so after you cut your first set you can move the jig for the rest if the tails that need to be cut down the piece.

Check closely... if the Java Jig looks like it has a ridge about 1/4 inch from the top, you have two java jigs stuck together. Pull them apart and only use one. It should work quite well.

No is the short answer. Grizzly only makes one size guides. You can make the guides by buying 5/8" stock and adapting it to your tenoning jig. A little work but it works. Your other option is a table saw with 3/4" slots. I did both. now I have two table saws/ they come in handy.

You can't. Jig and router much too large. You are better off using a hole saw bit for that size and then cleaning it up with the router.

Hello Lorenzo, You would want 1-1/4" screws to connect two pieces at the 3/4" jig setting. Hope that helps.

it says about 7 7/8" diameter is the maximum. I've used it to cut 3 1/2 holes in 3/4" plywood and solid walnut, and it worked well. Just be sure you use a drill press, clamp down the work, cut very slowly and at no more than 500 rpm. I'm not so sure how well it would cut at the maximum of 7 7/8", but that would depend upon what you were trying to cut a hole in... 1/4' or 3/4" stock.

AS long as you can insert the "Pin-hole" locator into the top pin hole anjd make sure the side of the jig is 90 degree vertical you should have no problem using the jig - I used it to install shelving on 4 home-constructed bookcases, drilling 208 holes and it worked perfectly - saving me "Hours" of measuring and clamping time.
